Upgrades

Most computer systems have the opportunity to be upgraded to the maximum amount of RAM (memory) capacity & CPU speed that they are capable of running, and can usually easily be upgraded to accomodate a higher capacity hard drive.

Often these steps are simple and cheap to implement, and can increase the speed, responsiveness, and overall performance of your PC sufficiently to extract more useful life out of the PC before it needs to be considered for replacement.

RAM Upgrade

Increasing the amount of RAM (memory) in your computer is often the easiest and cheapest way to improve the speed and responsiveness of your PC.  While all computers have their own limit as to the maximum amount of RAM (memory) that they can utilise, computers are frequently sold with less than this maximum amount that they are capable of utilising.

With the right information about your PC (principally the motherboard model, type of RAM, current amount of RAM, and number of RAM sockets), Mark Reynolds IT Consulting can upgrade the RAM in your PC to the maximum amount possible.

This information can be determined from the reports generated by Belarc Advisor (see the Downloads page).

Blu-Ray Writer

Consider upgrading your computer with a Blu-Ray drive to replace (or install in addition to) your CD or DVD drive.  Current Blu-Ray writers can store 25 GB of data, compared to the 9 GB maximum limit of a dual-layer DVD drive.  With today’s ever-expanding data that needs to be backed up, this might be the right solution for you.

Hard Drive Upgrade

Many people quickly find that their original hard drive just isn’t big enough for their current needs.  Of course, you can add a second drive – but replacing your existing hard drive with a more modern technology one can have the added advantage of making your computer operate faster as well.  Mark Reynolds IT Consulting can clone your small capacity hard drive on to a higher capacity one, providing you not only with increased capacity but a faster and more responsive system.
